In season 37 episode 7 of "House Hunters International," titled "Lucky in Languedoc," viewers follow a couple on their search for a new home in the south of France. The couple, originally from the US, currently live in Paris but are looking to relocate for a quieter and more affordable lifestyle.
The episode begins with the couple discussing their love for all things French, from the culture to the food and wine. They explain that they want to find a home in Languedoc, a historic and picturesque region known for its vineyards, medieval castles, and scenic countryside.
Their budget is €400,000 (roughly $450,000), and they are looking for a home with at least two bedrooms, a garden and enough space for visiting friends and family. They also want to be situated close to a town with amenities like cafes, restaurants and shops.
The couple meets with their real estate agent to begin the search, and they start with an old stone house that is located in a small village. The property has a lot of character, with original features like exposed beams and a fireplace, but it needs a lot of work to be livable. The couple considers the charm factor but is hesitant about the amount of renovation required.
The next property they visit is a renovated farmhouse set in a tranquil location with mountain views. The house has three bedrooms, a garden and a swimming pool, and is priced at €385,000 (around $430,000). The couple is impressed by the pool and garden, but they find the interior to be too modern for their taste.
The couple then tours a restored stone farmhouse with a large garden and pool, set in a hamlet close to a town. The property boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms, making it ideal for hosting guests. However, the couple is concerned about the lack of privacy since the house is situated in a small hamlet.
The couple's final stop is at a renovated stone barn that has been converted into a spacious three-bedroom home with a garden and pool. The house is located on the outskirts of a village, offering privacy and tranquility while still being close to amenities. The couple is impressed by the large open living space and charm of the property.
After touring all four properties, the couple discusses their pros and cons with their real estate agent, weighing the different factors such as location, charm, and price. In the end, they decide on a property that offers the ideal combination of privacy, tranquility, and charm while still being close enough to the amenities of the nearby town.
Overall, "Lucky in Languedoc" offers viewers a glimpse into the process of searching for a dream home in a foreign country. The episode showcases the unique charm and beauty of the region, while highlighting the challenges and decisions that come with buying a property abroad.
